Disc golf helps feed the hungry

LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) - Even with snow on the ground many took to the course for some golf. Disc golf that is.

More than twenty people attended the second annual Wabash Ice bowl at Murdock park Saturday morning. Competitors braved the cold weather to compete in an eighteen hole disc golf tournament.

The men paid to participate, and all the money raised goes to the Food Finders Food Bank of Lafayette. Tournament director Steve Chino said their goal was three hundred pounds of canned goods and one hundred dollars cash, which they easily surpassed.

"After Christmas it's usually a time of the year when the food banks find their donations dropping," he said. "That is part of the reason we set it for that time of the year is to get their donation levels back up."

Chino said the group plays in several tournaments a year. But this fundraiser is usually the only one they play in when there's snow on the ground.
